Make the same, but just with the module for vocalists! It will be GREAT and SECOND TO NONE to have a vocal processor with this kind of power and GENUINE AUTO-TUNE with all parameters... There is no vocal processor in the market that reaches even close to what you have offered us with Headrush Core!

[@ramonlorenzovaldavia1306]

Totally agreed with you. Actually, there isn't any vocal processor with this technology. All the options seem to be stuck in time, as old 2000s devices. There are many people who are solely vocalists or who already have another guitar processor from before. I'm pretty sure that my guitarist will buy a "Headrush Vocalist" to complement his expensive Line6... And I, as a vocalist, will buy one too... And I'm pretty sure many people here will do the same! Thinks about HeadrushFX, there is a market niche!

Ordered mine today!!!! SOOOO STOKED TO DIG INTO THIS 🔥🔥🔥

[@zaporoshti3392]

have you been happy with it?

[@ZeekBurse]

@@zaporoshti3392I love it tbh. Definitely takes time to get use to (practice, practice, practice) But once you learn the parameters you’re off to the races! It’s a workhorse! I perform weekly (on average) and use it for every gig! It’s brought excitement and creativity to my live show!

[@ten21studiosofficial]

Fantastic video and gear! Thanks so much for shooting with Ten 21 Studios for this epic production!

[@coolsmoke5825]

This looks great! I just wonder if I am the only one that would want the guitar input at the front of the unit? The same for the headphones connections.

[@fractalist]

This looks like a great product - much more compact than the Pedalboard but with even more capabilities. The one thing I don't like about the Headrush paradigm is the fact that the "console software" on Mac, PC does not allow full real-time control and manipulation. To avoid stooping down to the floor, the only option is to put the unit on a desk and use the touch screen. I would much rather leave it on the floor where it belongs (ready to support real-live usage with footswitches and pedals), while being simply connected to the computer to comfortably support tonecrafting and rig manipulation using computer screen, mouse and keyboard.

[@QuickSticks8771]

Didn’t know that ! No surprise the editor is never demoed or even mentioned

[@joshuazoil]

I have been a Headrush pedalboard owner for a few years now, Headrush please develop a desktop editor app please!!!!!!!!!!

[@rskirk22]

I'm sold. This is what I have been looking for.

[@dankelly6681]

Is it possible to use the vocal autotune without setting the key manually? TC helicon voicelive 3 detects the key automatically from the live guitar that’s being played.

[@gusman9135]

Please fix the BUG that no NEW SONG button. Impossible create a SETLIST,

[@ErikTomblinWrites]

Does this one also come with zero online support response?

[@DrSimonBignell]

Yes, lots of that. £1000 for the Prime and no manual of worth and no support or detailed tutorials.

[@jorgeleonel6663]

Great to see it is possible to separate the Vocal audio output through XLR outs from the quarter inch guitar outputs through software configuration

[@matibrandrock]

Can you asign more than one effect to the expression pedal like on the helix ?

[@jeffrankin7624]

Is there a way to configure the xlr's so one carries guitar, and the other vocals?

[@jodagold5481]

can you manually switch on/off the stomp effects for both guitar and vocal live? ie for verse chorus ect ? i want to switch reverb effects off for vox and vocals at various times whilst playing a backing track in practice mode ? is this possible ?? cheers !

[@theprezenz]

Can you switch guitar AND vocal patches with the buttons while playing?

[@erickleinedeters3173]

[@standardsoundproject]

sorry to ask but im v interested in this , does it have a built in amp then could I go straight into a speaker cab? and also the autotune I does it read the key automatically from my guitar chords

[@moroboshidan7960]

The gig board comes back. But with 5 stomps.

[@davidwoods358]

Certainly a ton of features on the Core. I'm currently using the MX5 and my only complaint is the lack of foot switches. I'd really like to hear some stand alone tone samples of what the Core can do. Getting these units to sound great is all in the programming. They truly can sound as good as any of the top modellers currently available (at any price.) I've replaced every factory preset in the MX5 with my own creations. I wasn't happy with even one of the standard presets. I almost returned it .... I'm glad I hunkered down with it and and beat it into submission.

[@alexlibak]

I loved one preset PyClean, this is really cool clean rig

[@MountainLionessMusic]

Okay, this is what I need.

[@JonOsborneOfficial]

Please give us a gig board version with two inputs (combo XLR/Line and a dedicated guitar input), an aux input, Autotune/vocal effects, the same looper and an intuitive AI/manual drums/bass section. Also if you can make it with a rechargeable battery that would be even better. It’s time someone came out with this feature set!

[@yonniesboy]

I can’t wait to get one from my local Guitar Center

[@alexanderfaust4192]

Just bought one today. I don't know what your credit is like, but if you have a guitar center credit card they're offering FREAKIN 48 MONTHS NO INTEREST on this! That is HUGE!!! That ends on Aug 28th I believe. This is also "on sale" right now too at $699 (even though I found it online for same price at Sweetwater). If you can afford it outright great but that 48 month interest freakin blew my mind considering it's only $699 and most of the time guitar center only offers 24 month interest free. It really is a killer deal. I can't wait to tear into this thing.

[@guitarhansen]

When it is available? Ive just ordered the prime but it's a little to big for me. So this is perfect!

[@littlebreaker79]

will presets/rigs/IRs of MX5 work on this one too? also is there a limit on how many presets/rigs/IRs can be stored on this?

[@ashnikolast8200]

[@alexlibak]

[@whatmusiciwant]

I hated my MX5. No matter what I did or what I plugged into the tones were terrible, shrill, fake sounding and aliased sounding.

[@JediMasterRick2]

@@whatmusiciwant i ended up selling my and going on a big tone hunt. I’m actually just going back to a nice solid state amp. Not digital. Digital is the problem.

[@whatmusiciwant]

@@JediMasterRick2 I am on a big tone hunt too, never done it and now all of a sudden I'm obsessed. I bought the new Tonemaster to pair with the FR-10 by Fender. The biggest issue I believe with these amp modeling pedals may not be digital, it may be lack of education and awareness that, in order to fully utilize one, you need something that is full range flat response (frfr), basically monitors. So, we will see I will find out Monday if that's what I want. Otherwise, the Laney LF series, is an amazing solid state amp that utilizes analog circuitry to emulate their tube amps, and does an amazing job of i.

[@rdannenh]

awesome tone. But You'll need very good stage monitors to be able to ear you with the band. I cannot see that stuff working good in a stage with a crazy monster drummer by your side...

[@sobota.happy.academy87]

Please make smaller one unit for pedalboard usage. I have big pedalboard, but still this unit is for me too much big to have place on my pedalboard. For now I will wait for something smaller like mx5, but with vocalist and everything from new ones…Cheers!

Does the Headrush Core have the same CPU power as the Prime?

[@JohnvanCapel]

Seems to be a similar situation to what the Gigboard is to the Pedalboard - so basically the same internals and the same software in a smaller form-factor (with minimal tweaks to allow for the fact there's fewer buttons and no built in expression pedal).

[@growwithjessbruno]

Wow!

[@redkurn]

so aassuming this shares the same software as the prime, when are you guys going to fix all the remaining bugs and get more cpu headroom? the clone update was nice and all, but this thing has way more potential than it's currently capable, maybe even bring the ui into this decade. love my prime, but it's been 6 months with no full bug squash and only one real improvement.

[@derrickbillups422]

I am genuinely impressed with this device from a general guitarist's perspective. However, as someone primarily focused on studio work, I find myself deeply disappointed-so much so that I’m questioning whether I can keep it. The main reason I purchased a hardware modeler was to use it as a USB interface, a feature I don’t think most guitarists would prioritize. For me, the goal was to seamlessly capture both wet guitar tones and dry DI tracks without the hassle of additional cables or another interface. While Headrush did an excellent job with audio routing for guitars, vocals, and other inputs, they seemingly gave no thought to the USB output routing. If you want to monitor your DAW sessions using this device, you’re forced to hear playback through both the XLR and the 1/4" TRS outputs. This design choice feels absurd, especially since the 1/4" outputs are meant to go into a real amp. The last thing anyone would want to run through a 120W guitar head is a full mix of a song. While the device excels in many areas, this glaring oversight in USB routing makes it hard to justify keeping it for studio use, which was my primary need.

[@fedboy21]

Is this better than the neural qc or fractal??? From the spec it is...but i dont see many ppl using this head rush on their board. Why???

[@JonOsborneOfficial]

Neither the QC nor the Fractal have accurate vocal tuning. I would say the tones in Fractal are slightly better but I have not tested the HeadRush since its 11 Rack days. I think the next HR model that replaces the gig board could be the holy grail for gigging musicians if they implement a few more features into it. We are getting close to all in one perfection!

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

Ok Headrush..... To be clear I am a big headrush fan. MX 5 was wonderful. I had two headrush primes both with querks and problems. Shame was i loved the prime! So two questions ❓ that i know most want to know. First are all the clone patches whether they are made or downloaded from cloud fixed now.... And second... Are the bugs that were in Prime gone? .... Love this unit guys if all the bugs are gone you have a killer unit here no joke ... Love the design. Designer needs a raise 😅
